Cons

Con

No Kanban metrics

Taiga is said to support Kanban but it does not generate any of the usual Kanban metrics (cycle time, lead time) or graph (Cumulated Flow Diagram).

Con

Can be overwhelming at first

Taiga presents users with a lot of information and functionality right from the beginning with little guidance. Figuring how stuff works might take a bit.

Con

Too much functionality for small projects

While it's possible to disable any unwanted features (modules), the amount of functionality that's present might be more than a small, short-term project needs.

Con

Few features

It doesn't have a lot of features that Wunderlist had, which was discontinued for this app.

Con

A Microsoft Product

Some people have a distaste for Microsoft, and may avoid it for this reason. This includes people who are angry that Wunderlist has been discontinued in favor of this app.
